TM 199 -- You've woken up as the opposite sex this morning... now what?
199 You've woken up as the opposite sex this morning... now what?
My first reaction would be, "Nathan Dayspring Askani'son Summers, what have you gotten me into this time?" It may not be fair that I'd automatically blame Cable for this -- it probably wasn't actually him, but one of his enemies -- but the truth is, things like that didn't happen to me back when I was just an intrepid reporter. Start hanging around with a messianic future soldier, and suddenly you can't take anything for granted.
It wouldn't be the weirdest thing that had ever happened when I was hanging out with him. I once punched a Horseman of Apocalypse in the face.
Now about the specific hypothetical mess that was probably Nathan's fault. I suppose I should say that I would take the opportunity to do things that only men can do, but it violates some basic principle of running a future-thinking Utopian community to admit that those things exist. Or at least, that they're very important. Whatever Freud thought, I never had this overwhelming desire to pee standing up.
I guess I could talk about sex, but the question is kind of vague. Since I'm a straight woman, do I wake up as a straight man? And why did I just wonder how Domino would have been affected by this whole thing? Or am I still attracted to the same people, and if so, how do they feel about me? My boyfriend is pretty open-minded, but that's a lot to ask of him.
So I probably wouldn't think about sex. Instead, I'd just get to work on figuring out what went wrong with the world, and then I'd try to fix it. I guess it wouldn't change me much at all.
